The 45th annual Mr. Olympia Expo held in 2010 at the Las Vegas Convention Center was a two-day event chock full of everything to do with the Sports / Nutrition world. All the top big-name brands were there with their latest product lines on display -- along with a bunch of new-comers to the market that look promising.

This year it seemed finally to be about high-energy without all the usual sugars and carbs; flavor without sacrificing quality, quality without sacrificing flavor - energy bars, drinks, supplements, diet regimens, the whole gammmit was here and everyone one of them wanted you to try a sample of their wares.

To keep the large crowds happy away from all the vendors there was powerlifting, martial arts exhibitions, sumo wrestlers, bodybuilders, bikini models, and of course Mr. Lou Ferrigno himself signing autographs at the GNC booth.

Every year the show gets bigger and better, and that's a good sign for the health and nutrition industry, and also for bodybuilding, powerlifting, and any other related Xtreme Power Sports. See ya next year!
